The Origin

On June 10, 2014 at 11:57:53 AM EDT, Mitch McGinley added Andrew Hunt, Rob McQueen, and Tom Devine to a new GroupMe. Thirty-five seconds later, he typed the founding manifesto:

I can't keep up with the emails and I want to be able to like all of toms quips.

Twelve years later, this chat has logged 154,704 messages. Tom never stopped with the quips. The chat outlived Wenger, two USMNT collapses, a global pandemic, and Lionel Messi's move to Florida. The crew grew to nine, the chat survived COVID, and Tom changed his display name 24 times.
